  • Not at all what I mean. Working with data has nothing to do with models. Models consume data, but so does everything else.

    Right now we are drowning in data. With the AI hype, companies now want to retain their data longer, but optimizing the processing and retreival of said data is an essential art that AI is currently very bad at. Data centers are adding processing power to tgeir infrastructure, but IO is still a massive bottle neck.

















  • I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad in 2020 and have been using that install as my daily driver without issue. That includes multiple LTS release upgrades. The key is to stick with LTS releases. It’s boring because you do not get the latest and greatest features, but the payoff is rock solid stability.

    EDIT: As far as distros, I stick with Pop!_OS for myself, Linux Mint for my wife (we’re both IT professionals), and LMDE for my servers.
